Poverty Alleviation & Economic Development

Overview

Poverty alleviation and economic development are essential for creating a stronger and more equitable society. Technology plays a critical role in creating opportunities for economic growth for people in extreme poverty and creating a society where access to basic goods and services - such as food, housing, education, and healthcare are available to all.

Technology provides new tools to increase access to social services, facilitate financial inclusion, and provide access to workforce development and employment opportunities. On Tech Jobs for Good, you’ll also find organizations helping smallholder farmers carve a path out of poverty, making utilities more affordable, as well as addressing homelessness.

Since poverty is interlinked with many other social and environmental issues, you may want to explore some other related impact areas such as Education and Health & Well-Being
